C228 Cadaveric tree
The silence in the night sky was made even more obvious.
At this time, even the Devil Beast had gradually fallen into a deep sleep. Other than the occasional rustling of the wind in the forest, this place was so quiet that people could feel traces of fear.
Even the practitioners who usually stayed within the Nine Nether Mountain had stopped in their tracks to rest or cultivate.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
However, under this silence, several Sky-breaking Sound suddenly spread out in this space. Soon after, he saw four figures suddenly appear at the foot of the mountain of Nine Nether Mountain in the middle of the night.
"This, is Nine Nether Mountain?"
As their bodies steadied, everyone's eyes were focused on the mountain range in front of them. Ye Shaoliang could not help but be slightly shocked.
At this moment, the mountains in front of him were rolling up and down. He couldn't see the end of them. The towering mountain peaks stuck out from the ground in an irregular manner. Following that, they became as tall as sabers and swords, piercing through the clouds. It was as if their majestic positions were about to pierce a hole through the clouds in the sky.
It was rumored that there were nine entrances to the mountain in the Nine Nether Mountain, and they were distributed in nine different directions.
"Everyone, restrain your aura."
Tang Feng slowly said after his gaze sunk slightly upon her.
This place was simply too quiet. One must know that even some of the most common mountain ranges would be able to hear the sounds of birds and beasts walking around during the night. However, there was nothing here.
This kind of silence was simply too frightening.
Tang Feng's words also caused Ye Xing and the other two to frown. After that, they all hid their auras and it was as if they were extremely ordinary youths who had accidentally entered this place.
His eyes were like Wild Wolf s in the night sky, emitting a cold light as he continuously scanned his surroundings, yet he did not discover anything. As the Spiritual Sense quietly spread out, even the fluctuations of the flowers and plants between heaven and earth could be completely seen by Tang Feng.
Although this was his first time here, Tang Feng did not dare to relax his guard in the slightest.
Being able to be mentioned repeatedly by the seniors of many students was not a simple matter.
"Come with me!"
With a low voice, he faintly waved his hand, picked a direction, and walked towards the interior of the Nine Nether Mountain.
Before coming here, Tang Feng had already looked through a lot of information, and was the clearest, the best time to enter the Nine Nether Mountain was during the night. Because under the night sky, everything had become quiet. As long as he did not let his presence leak out to alert the hidden Devil Beast and those fierce people, entering was not a difficult matter.
Once day came, not only did the Devil Beast hate people for frequently coming out, they also began to search for food.
These Devil Beast were innately wild, and the moment they detected the aura of the Human Clan, they would definitely cause huge movements. Therefore, it was obviously not a wise choice to enter during the day.
The most important thing was that the Nine Nether Mountain was located in a wet and dark area, and was always shrouded in a hernia. This hernia was so toxic that even Profound Stage practitioners would not dare to lightly touch it. This was because the hernia was completely unaware of the protection of spiritual energy.
Therefore, if he accidentally inhaled the Qi of a hernia into his body, he would be poisoned at best and dead at worst!
The hernia was only at the peak of the yin energy in the world at midnight. However, there was one unique characteristic, and that was that when it was late at night, these hernias would shrink towards the deepest part of the Nine Nether Mountain.
At the moment when the first rays of sunlight sprinkled down, these hernia gradually spread outwards.
So, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would be willing to enter the Nine Nether Mountain during the day, as the risk involved was just too great.
The four of them snuck into the night as though they had a tacit understanding. Immediately, they disappeared into the endless darkness without sensing even the slightest trace of their aura!
Hm?!
The four people who were walking forward stopped in their tracks the moment Tang Feng came to a sudden stop, and then a series of heavy breathing suddenly spread out in this space!
"What a strong aura!"
Ye Xing's hand also unconsciously clenched into a fist. The instant his body appeared in this area, a dense aura of death began to spread out.
This kind of death aura was not formed from the essence of killing intent that he had encountered before. Instead, it was a type of death aura that exuded from a dead body.
It was mixed with a disgusting stench that made one's chest roll.
"Be careful!"
The smell of a corpse spread out, making Tang Feng's nerves completely tense up. This time, since the fall of his Nine Nether Mountain, they had been mixed with some unknown profound mysteries and secret.
There had once been many experts who had attempted to unravel this strange phenomenon. However, in the end, it was an extremely miserable scene.
Later on, even if it was a mission for the students in the academy, it would only be carried out outside of the Nine Nether Mountain. After all, no one knew what was going on inside.
But one could be sure that at that time, the Devil Beast in the deepest area would even be strong enough to compare to Mystic Stage Level. Otherwise, those ruthless people wouldn't be able to only linger around the periphery of the Nine Nether Mountain.
But this time they were different. What they needed to do was to keep going deeper into the Nine Nether Mountain and try to find the Nine Nether Bone.
Although the shadow was the main point, since he had come, Tang Feng naturally hoped to truly find the Nine Nether Bone. After all, if they were to just wander around, not only would they not be able to find any Nine Nether Bone, they might not even be able to sense any traces of a dark shadow.
This was because he was very clear that if a person from the shadows was to be completely hidden, they would naturally not choose to be outside of the Nine Nether Mountain. Given their strength, they were completely qualified to enter the depths of the Nine Nether Mountain.
Otherwise, even the Ling Xuan from back then would not have returned empty-handed.
Therefore, no matter what goal it was, he had to enter the depths of the Nine Nether Mountain.
He carefully moved his feet and every step he took was done with caution.
However, this path full of dried up leaves unknowingly caused a series of creaking sounds to sound out as their footsteps landed, instantly breaking the tranquility.
And this kind of activity caused the four's heartbeat to speed up. It was a pity that they couldn't release the spiritual energy within their bodies at this time. Otherwise, flying wouldn't be difficult for them.
He tried his best to minimize the weight of his forehead as he slowly moved forward.
Just by following this path and advancing forward, the smell of death became heavier and heavier! The rotting smell of the corpses assaulted their senses, causing Ye Yu and the others to have a twisted expression.
Immediately after, everyone could only forcefully suppress their own breathing, but Tang Feng still had no intention of stopping.
The distance from the entrance to this place was more than ten miles, and even if they wanted to turn back now, it was still a big challenge. As for changing the route, it wasn't that they didn't think of it, but there was only one path.
Both sides were cliff walls, and under this straight and smooth condition, it was as if someone had deliberately used a spirit treasure to cut it open. Maybe the initial lines had gradually disappeared due to the passage of time, but the water droplets condensed from the temperature difference at night had actually started to drip.
This sound mixed with the death aura spreading out in front of them, adding to it a heart palpitating feeling of fear.
"It's over there!"
Suddenly, Ye Shaoliang's voice also trembled, his eyes flashed with fear, and he spoke slowly while pointing forward.
Upon hearing this voice, everyone's gazes turned towards the front.
At the end of his line of sight, this originally twenty to thirty feet wide road suddenly expanded under the descent of the moon. However, due to this spread, a dried up Giant Tree suddenly stood in place.
This Giant Tree was roughly as thick as three people with their arms around it. When its huge branches spread out, it looked like a Hill from afar. It was just that this Giant Tree did not have any life force, even to the point where it did not have any withered yellow leaves. The aura of death that the Giant Tree emitted made it look even more sinister, and it looked extremely terrifying.
But the thing that caused them to suddenly have their pupils shrink and their faces twitch was not the Giant Tree that appeared, but the thing that hung on top of the Giant Tree!
Dead!
The corpses that were suspended above the Giant Tree were actually all corpses. The clothes on these corpses were still intact, but the blood stains on them was enough to show that they had suffered a huge attack before being hung on the Giant Tree!
The way in which these corpses were hung was because the extremely sturdy branches had ruthlessly pierced through their chests!
It was a miserable death!
"Is it really a Cadaveric Tree?!"
As his eyes focused, the bottom of Tang Feng's heart also became completely gloomy. He hadn't thought that he would actually encounter this thing. It seemed that his luck really wasn't that good.
"Get ready, we'll do our best to get there. Remember, don't hold anything back!"
After taking in a deep breath, the aura within Tang Feng's body also began to surge, and even his breathing became a little heavy.
When the two words "Cadaveric Tree" came out of Tang Feng's mouth, Ye Shaoliang and the other two had a burst of shock, then like Tang Feng, the Qi in their bodies started to boil.
